Hi,
Does anyone know if you can get a 24" barrel for the Mossberg 590?
Here in the UK we have this ridiculous law that states a shotgun barrel cannot be shorter than 24". As a result the dealer who sold me my 590 had to braze a four and a half inch muzzle break on the end of the barrel to make it legal. It is assumed if it were any shorter it would be to easy to conceal and that might tempted me to go out and rob a bank or something like that.
This is all fine and dandy except I cant now fit a front sight such as the LPA SG6 http://www.lpasights.com/catalog-shotgun.html and instead I will have to get a sight fitted by a gunsmith, re-blued and presumably re-proofed as well.
To make matters worse they didn't even put it on straight as it is about ten degrees out. I know it's not much but it just bugs me every time I see it.
I've been looking around on the Internet for a replacement muzzle brake as well but I'm having no such luck with that ether so if anyone knows a retailer that would be most welcome.
Regards,
Steve...
